It’s been a minute! I was in lower key last week because I had extended family in from overseas and staying with me. Just so everyone knows, the biggest attraction in America is our wider-format roads. Like, wow. So many lanes. So many highway shoulders. So impressive.
Anywho, they’re heading back to the ole’ country now and I’m back on my regular work schedule. I have some exciting news to share later this week as well, but in the meantime… here’s a quickie newsletter with requests, links, etc.
Also, nobody asked, but my grape vines are really coming along!
Working on now:
Reader’s Digest: We’re rounding up stylish tops/shirts to wear on video calls, because yes—we’re all still doing that and probably will forever (love that). We love hitting reasonable, average American budgets (think $140ish or less for a nice top) and a variety of size and body types. Pitch your major retailer + affiliate-ready DTC sites ASAP! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Family Handyman: Who is doing PR for Tushy bidets rn? The contact I had bounced back, and have some feature content for them! bryce@theluxuryspot.com

Anyone want to guess what’s trending on Skimlinks right now? I’ll give the entire breakdown soon, but here’s a hint: CHEAP PET FOOD. People are scaling back on the fancy dog food and buying Pedigree, Iams, etc in droves. Feel free to digest that info however you’d like. I have my own ideas I’ll pop in the AT newsletter this week, but dogs are definitely leading the pack and about to set some human trends.
Did you see that BONKERS BuzzFeed screenshot I put in my last email? There’s a follow up and *gasp* it’s wilder than I expected.
Talk soon, bubbelehs! As always, thoughts and questions are welcome in the comments section.
